  • As President Donald Trump works to dramatically reshape the federal government, he is also in the middle of transforming another historic aspect of the presidency: the Oval Office.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump has transformed the Oval Office into what is described as a "gilded gallery," reflecting his personal taste and political messaging. Trump has adorned the office with numerous American flags, gold-framed portraits, and various memorabilia, including a bust of Winston Churchill and a portrait of Andrew Jackson. The decor includes a large, gold-framed portrait of Trump himself, which some see as a symbol of his self-aggrandizement. Critics argue that this transformation turns the historically significant room into a space more focused on Trump's image and less on the traditional solemnity of the office. The changes also include replacing traditional art with pieces that align with Trump's political views, like a painting of the Battle of Gettysburg, emphasizing his narrative of American history and leadership. This redesign has sparked discussions on the balance between personal expression and the preservation of the office's dignity.
